while I don't think I'm in the market for these any more I deeply respect anyone who gets them
I did find the stock Intel "thermal solution" super-annoyingly-loud and eventually got around to getting a big Noctua heatpipe and fan and was so impressed with how quiet and effective it was that I then got three Noctua case fans, but all that is inside a black box and I never see them except when I open it up to blow out the dust or mess around with something. So I don't feel like I need a keyboard that matches the inside of the black metal box. But, yeah, it is cool, in that way. Someone with one of those too-much-Noctua glass-side case builds might, I'm sure.
